New Nepenthes (DUW)

[Lil Stinkpot]

It's about time I make a show-off thread about something.

A couple weeks ago was the annual BACPS show & sale. I didn't get more than ten feet past the door before I blew my allowance about five times over. Wheee!

N. muluensis x lowii

N. ramispina

Love those red leaves!

N. mikei

N. maxima Watutau dwarf

Fuzzy!

N. spectabilis x aristolochioides

N. veitchii x platychila

An old favorite of mine has decided to finally put to some nice pitchers. N. thorelii x (x wittei)

N. singlana Belirang (got this one from a friend in Sebastapol)

Here's what this one will look like in a few years:

Fun stuff!

The leaves in the second photo of the N. veitchii x platychilla look like they're almost purple - black (awesome)! Can you get a shot of the whole plant?

 

[Lil Stinkpot]

I'm not sure if that's typical, sunburn, or stress from coming out of TC. But here it is. One leaf is purple, one is burned, and the rest are green.

I actually passed on the plant without a second glance, it was too green. but Josh prompted me to take another look, and to look again at the tag. Woah! I bought it.

Notice the fuzz. Those hairs are so strong, one actually stuck me on the trip home. It was a cactus-like experience.

I took a couple hundred pictures, these are just the best ones of them all.

daaaang,.. nice Belirang! Hey, that rhymed. I'm poet and ddn't know it.

I didn't see where you hid all those nice plants, Katie.

How did I not see your thread earlier?! OMG ah-maze-ing!

 

[jurow]

Those first few plants look mighty familiar. Glad to see they're doing so well @ your place.

 

[Frank S.]

Yammie plants!

cheers,
Frank

 

[Fred]

it's almost a masochistic pleasure to blow our allowance....besides, who doesn't like to live a little on the edge? ;P

I would definitely have fallen for that N. spect. X aristo., N. mikei and N. ramispina

Great choices there!

I didn't see where you hid all those nice plants, Katie.

It was before the show was started; I was helping bring in plants, and was shopping with each tray I brought in. Then, after we bought it all, snuck them out into the truck to wait.

How did I not see your thread earlier?! OMG ah-maze-ing!

Did-jya like that giant vent hybrid? I normally don't like vents, either, but that one stood out. Wish I could have bought it too, but it was expensive!

Those first few plants look mighty familiar. Glad to see they're doing so well @ your place.

Awww, thanks! Yes, they are all doing very well, and are growing happily. After I raised the humidity, they started doing really well. I'll update when I get more pitchers.
